a laptop drawing

mae's entry:

Aiden has been drawing more and more lately. No surprise that most of his drawings feature an electronic gadget ever so often.

He drew a laptop last week - half the page had tiny boxes like a keyboard, and the other half (the screen) was quite plain except for some squiggles in the centre.

So I asked what was on the screen, expecting a fantastic story of an elephant, or some adventure since he's quite fond of making up rather imaginative stories. But instead, he explained, "Oh it says: 'Webpage cannot be loaded'. There's an error, Mummy. Perhaps we might need to close Chrome and try another browser."

It had me in stitches. It's not just the lingo (that he probably picked up from Andy & I) but that he did a drawing of an error with troubleshooting advice. I'm sure some other parent would find this incredibly tragic, but we love the inclination toward geekdom. Welcome to the club, Aiden.
